SATURDAY, June 4th.
The only business in Chambers on
Saturday was the hearing proofs OF ac-
counts in an equity suit between Maka-
lei * ct al. vs.. D. Himeni, before Mr.
Henry Smith, Master in Chancerv. The
Htigants are residents on the island Of
MOlokai, and are owners OF the ahupua
OF Plekunu, rich and valuable tract of
land The cause OF the suit is the alleged
non-payment of the purchase price of
said ahupua. The defendant was presi-
dent, and Makalei the secretary of the
Heui (or company OF Pelekunu, num-
bering in all some 43 members, who were
to contribute SO each towards the pay
ment of the purchase price Plaintiffs
charge defendant with fnisappIying their
contributions, and pray for an account
ing. By an order OF Mr. Justice Preston
the parties fled their accounts on Mon
day last, with directions that they be
verified by the Master The evidence
being all in, the Master informed the
parties that he would file report in
weeks time. 1t transpired that the /
difficulties arose wholly from want of an
accounting between the parties, that /
there vas somewhat of negligence on
the part OF the president, but that he has
ample property OF his own to secure
plaintiffs from losses. This case has
been pending ever since February last.
W. A. Smith appeared for plaintiffs, J.
VI. Poepoe for defendant.

a friend to the King and His Majesty's
Government. and devoted to the welfare
of the Hawaiian people.
/ am satisfied with the country and the
Government, because have found here a
most congenial climate, peaceful and
hospitable people, and have larger en-
joyInent OF my earnings and acquisitions
than in the great country from
whence l came. There the exigencies OF.
state required that / should pay taxes 70
ehe amount Of three and four per cent on

here 1 have been paying only three-quar-
tiers of one per cent on = low valuation OF

Now find a party of persons here who
do not agree with me in my view Of public
affairs, who do not like the King. the Gev-
eminent or the people and who are in de-
cided opposition not only to the admins
tration of public affairs. bat to the country
itself.
There could be found a remedy for
such peoples views and feelings in their /
departure from the cOuntry-DuI they !
have right to stay and growI. But we /
who are content to stay have right to
know the true ground of their complaint
and what they truly want.
We demand to know:
What is the form OF Government YOU
nalcontents want, and who are your
eaders and standard bearers Trot out
our Ministry or your Governor or Presi-
ent Of the Hawaiian State. Let Us
now what you want and what you intend

1t Il q favorite expression with tn
class Of politicians we have under con
sideration that the merchant, the planter
and the controllers Of industrial enter
prises, Or say in general the business
men OF the country are the chief sources
or the revenue Of the Kingdom, and
shCnid consequently have a controlling
voice in its political affairs. Now We
differ with our political opponents on
this point. The laborer and the -cS,l-
sumner are the chief sources Of the re-
venue OF the country. 1t must not De-
said shat an importer who pays into the
Treasury $25, 900 or $50, 900 duties has
made this contribution to the revenue Of /
the country, and is entitled TO special +
consideration on account OF such large
payments. 1t may be that Ee does no1 /
contribute one dollar Of the sums he ap-
parently hands over for the use OF the
Government, unless he Is an actual con
sumner Of his own importations Say he
places in the Treasury $50, 900 a. duties
on the importation OF liquors and should
consume for his own personal use onIyl
s. worth OF such importation he would in
reality contribute only the duty on that
- worth, and the so, 900 which he hal
paid out would be returned 70 him along
with his profits by the jobber and re-
taller, who get their money back from
the consumer. Il will be manifest that
the mass OF laborers and consumers are
the true sources of revenue, and IN
this Kingdom, as IN every other free and
State, manhood suffrage +
is regarded as the true constituent OF
government, and not the property quail
ication, for which our opposing poll
-icians are disposed to contend.

High License Not a Fraud.

Ex-Governor St. John of Kansas never
uttered greater untruth that when he
said recently that "high license was a
fraud" When the Crosby bill was before
the Legislature last winter the Vine and
SPIRIT Recielu, in opposing it, published a
table showing that the higher the license
the fewer the saloons. 1t showed, for in
stance, that in Baltimore where the
license fee was $50, there was one saloon
to every rs inhabitants: that in st. Paul,
where the license fee was 500, there was
one saloon to every 221 persons; in In
dianapolis, fee 5000, and one saloon to
every 2SS persons, and in Omaha, where
the license was 81 900, but one saloon to
every 426 persons.
We need not go away from our own
State to ascertain the result of high license.
In 1856 high license law for New York
| and Brooklyn was passed by the Legisla-
ture of the State, and under it the receipts
for license in New York city and Brooklyn
rose from less than $4,000 in 1866 to over
S2,600,000 in 1867. During the thirteen
months in which this law was in force the
number of saloons in these two cities was
reduced from $3.50 to 6,S45. The effect
of high license in Ohio Minnesota and IL
linois Is well known. Statistics have re-
peatedly been given to demonstrate that
the number of saloons has invariably d.
minished as the licenses have been in
creased. Even in the largest cities the
law has been effective in this respect. Yet
st. John and those who follow him insist
on their folly in demanding prohibition
and nothing else, when prohibition as the
people feel at present, is impracticable
and impossible.
The most sensible expression that we
have heard in many years is that of ex-
Governor Myron II. Clark, who was elected
Governor of this State on the temperance
issue, and is the only man ever elected to
an important office by the Prohibitionists
of the State. He has said repeatedly dur
ing the past year that he has changed his
belief in reference TO the Prohibition move
ment, and that henow upholds high license
and high tax as the best method of ad-
vancing the cause of temperance If the
Legislature will do its duty this winter
the friends of temperance will have no
reason to complain and St. John will find
few followers in this State.-Ai6Gny N.Y.

An American Apprentice system.

Colonel Richard T. Auchmuty, the
founder of the New York Trade Schools.
on First avenue, Sixty-Seyenth and Sixty
eighth streets, read paper recently before
the Polytechnic Section of the American
Institute on An American Apprentice
System"
After referring to the decay of the old
apprentice system, caused by the sub
division of labor and the inability of the
master mechanic to beStow much personal
care on the apprentice, Il was argued that
the only method by which it was possible
to train American mechanics who could
compete with foreign workmen was COM
bination of the trade school with real
work. The trade school frs. to gain skill
and acquire what is now in danger of being
forgotten, the knowledge of the science on
which trade is based, then real work to
gain speed of execution and skill To ap-
ply, in short, the same system of education
to the trades as is now followed in the pro-
fessions.
Colonel Auchmuty maintaiued that this
was "no paper plan, devised IN study"
but it was the result of the experience
gained while instructing over one thousand
young men at the New York trade schools,
@1setAs VI NlioI4 were HOW 0d11nlS three
or feur dollars per day, and some OF whom
were master mechanics. Excellent speci
mems of plumbing work, of wood carving
and stone cutting wore exhibited, theresult
of one seasons instruction Attention was
also called to large west side apartment
house, sile brick work of which was done
almost entirely by trade school graduates.
Now shat it has beea demonstrated tbat
trade schools eeald teach the American
lad how to work, i rested with the master
mechanics 10 give him employment. Two
associatioHs--the master plumbers and sill
yersmiths--ihad asserted their rights to do
SO, notwithstanding traGe-union rules 10
the contrary. The opposition of the Jour
aeymen, mos of whom sere of foreign
birth, to allowing boys to learn the trades
was attributable, Col. Auchnaty stated, to
their dread of eaHnpetition aad over-pro-
ductSon. This vas a groundiess fear. The
labor of young meF who had been taught
how to work, would, if properly utilized,
lower tie cost of nle product without low
ering wages. ss-pioduciion cazae from
high prices, not FROM people heging too
much.
The tendency Of trade union regulations
in regard 10 production was to enhance
prices, contract the market and to make
the trade poorer RaiioaY Ners.
